Introduction

Purpose

This web site, designed and created by Swami Atma, is dedicated to spreading the teachings of yoga and advaita vedanta in the authentic tradition of India according to the lineage of Sri Swami Sivanandaji of Rishikesh as well as Sri Swami Vishnu-devanandaji.

Besides covering the asanas, pranayamas and other techniques of hatha yoga, it also delves into the philosophy of advaita vedanta and many aspects of the teachings.

This includes the four paths of yoga: jnana, raja, bhakti and karma as well as kundalini yoga. Of course there is much more ...

Please note that all Sanskrit terms used in this site are explained in the Sanskrit glossary.

O man! Thou art a pilgrim here. Awake, awake. Life is short. Time is fleeting. Go back to your original home of immortal bliss.
Swami Sivananda
